How to stop syncing Google Drive on PC

Google has developed a set of utilities to allow that as users we have full access to the files that have been configured to be backed up locally, this is achieved thanks to the Backup and Synchronization utility which has been developed to offer a point central from where it is possible to support various team libraries linked to our Google account and thus be able to access them from anywhere in the world..

 

 

This is a function that we can configure according to the need but it may happen that the moment comes when we do not want the data to continue synchronizing due to computer performance repercussions (if they are large files the process may take too long) and it is For this reason, getFastAnswer will give you the steps to stop synchronizing the Backup and synchronization function which belongs to Google Drive.
